Of events in my life

2010 was a difficult year for me.  Building my private therapy practice was work, but work done in joy.  Being with my BFF in a practice is a dream come true! 
However, Isaiah's grandmother died last June after a respiratory struggle for over a year.  Isaiah was devastated, and when our chilren hurt, we hurt.  We became closer attending a grief group, and having long talks about what happens when you die.  I had become her friend over the last year or two, and we miss having her here on holidays.  Did I mention she was my age?  Yea, that threw me for a loop. 

My favorite Aunt Dorothy died later in the summer, she saved my life when I was a teenager, showing me part of the world and a way of life I would never have seen otherwise.  I was sad, and yet her memorial helped me reconnect with cousins I like but had lost touch with.

The year culminated with my mothers death on Thanksgiving.  I am grateful it was quick. The things that unleased I will cover in a later post.
